More than 400,000 infected by Cholera in Yemen

Experts believe Saudi Arabia itself had spread cholera in Yemen. Even if one is not to believe that such an act of genocide is possible is this time and era, Saudi Arabia’s actions show they don’t’ want the deaths to stop.

Rapid invasion of Yemen and the siege has helped to the faster widespread of cholera in the region.

According to the local authorities ever since the beginning of cholera outbreak, more than 400,000 people were affected by the disease and about 2000 people lost their lives.

The siege placed on Yemen by Saudi Arabia does not allow any form of aids, like food or medicine, to the Yemeni people. And without help the existing facilities won’t be enough to stop the disease, especially in more remote places, like Osman valley, that are more affected cholera.

Medical centers to treat the disease are so few and thus many villages will be still out of reach. Plus, most villager in those areas are poor and cannot afford to travel to treatment facilities. Without receiving extra help from outside there will be no way to help the people and stop the disease.
